Ice phase in altocumulus clouds over Leipzig: remote sensing observations and detailed modeling

The present work combines remote sensing observations and detailed cloud modeling to investigate two altocumulus cloud cases observed over Leipzig, Germany. A suite of remote sensing instruments was able to detect primary ice at rather high temperatures of −6 °C. For comparison, a second mixed phase...
